Be partiaular to ask for " NORTON'S PILLS," for, in consequence of their great success, some unprincipled i ersons hove prepared a spurious imitation. An inhabitant of the village of Ceinova, on the Peninsula of Hela, near Dantsic, having been a been a long time in the hands of the regular faculty for a complaint they were unable to cure, called in a noted quack, named Kaminski. This fellow, finding his nostrums fail, pretended that the patient was bewitched. He caused all the poor old women of the place to be collected in the house of the invalid, pointed out one of them as the witch, and commanded her to take off the spell. The poor creature, of course, denied the accusa tion, which she persisted in doing, notwithstanding she re ceived a severe bastinado from the doctor and his patient. It was then determined to put her to the old ordeal by water, and throw her into the sea. Terror induced her to promise to effect a cure; she required a space of 12 hours. This was granted, but at the end of the time she declared it was out of her power to do what was commanded ; and, consequently, after beinr , again beaten, she was cast into the water. As she struggled hard for her life, she was thrust under by long poles, and it is said even stabbed by Kaminski, and in the end drowned. The perpetrators of this act of barbarism have been arrested and conducted to Dantsic.—French Paper. STORM.—ST. PETERSBURGII, AUG. 20.—0 n the 29th of July, at four in the afternoon, a dreadful storm visited the town of Charcers and the environs. The wind tore up trees by the roots, and unroofed houses ; the rain fell in tor rents, and the sky became so dark that the largest print could not be read; at the same time a tremendous hail shower, the stones as large as hen's eggs, fell, and being driven horizontally by the south-west wind, destroyed in a moment all the panes of glass in its course. ,000 s th ,o lp st an ß es oi N i v e e i r r e ia b n ro g k las en s i c n o t u li d e U no n t 4 r .e e r s s i i s t t y i a t l , on an e. d old iron roofs were pierced through and through.

Od 30 • Od Thursday morning the follT,ving extraordinary dis covery was made of the deaths of John and Mary Willowby, man and wife, residing in Garrett-lane, near the Iron Mills, Wandsworth. They resided in Wandsworth a number of years, and were respected for their industry, having brought up a family of nine sons and daughters. About a wee since they proceeded to Carshalton, seven miles from Wandsworth, for the purpose of harvesting. Wednesday evening they returned, and finding themselves unwell retired to bed, when, on one of their daughters calling them in the morning, they were both discovered dead by the side of each other in bed. The hus band was in his 64th year, the wife 65. The last of the balloon races for the season, if such they may be called, where the parties have not the power to slacken or accelerate their progress, took place yesterday evening at Vauxhall. The gardens were crowded with spec tators. At ten minutes past six the balloons, after much pitching and rolling, were released, and they arose " majesti cally slow before the breeze," Mr. and Miss Green being in one and Mr. W. Green and a passenger being in the other. The machines moved in a south-easterly direction, and it was supposed they would descend about Croydon. At Nantes, in the South of France, a few days ago, the guillotine being out of repair, not a carpenter in the place would give his assistance, even though a large reward been at last proposed to induce them to work. The French Papers recommend this example to be generally followed, as one means, when all others fail, of putting a stop to capital punishment. Horse-stealing seems to be in very general operation throughout all the provinces ; in Wished' two were stolen last week, and there are ft-Av places which have escaped the depredations of these villains. A correspondent says, " Having been robbed of a favourite hackney, I caused a stout iron-bar to be so fixed across the stable door that' no horse could be taken out while it was up, and it was impossible to get it down without going first up to the groom's sleeping room. The contrivance is very simple, and its efficacy has been tested by the fact, that whilst the horses of my neigh bours were nightly stolen my steed remained secure." ENGLISH SUNSIIINE.—A Neapolitan, whose no tions of the foggy atmosphere in London seem exaggerated, thus accosted Lablache on his return from a two years' en gagement in London :—" How is it possible you can remain in a country so long without seeing the sun ?"

The blow which occasioned the concussion was received from the lower end of the spine, the vertebral column communicating with and accounting fur it. It is also evident, from the great dis - eolouration, and the little paralysis that occurred, that the powerful muscles which cushion the pelvis in a great degree softened the shock. The only paralysis left is one of the right eyelid, which still falls over and completely veils the oye. This circumstance gives her a vacant and somewhat idiotic appearance, but this, as the eyelid recovers its elevatin g power, will w ear off. The vision of this eye is yet confused and indistinct. Yesterday morning, shortly after five o'clock, an in fant was picked up in Parliament -street, with its head com pletely flattened, and quite dead. It presented a most awful sight, and was removed to the workhouse to await a coroner's inquest. It is supposed to have been accidentally dropped from one of the early coaches coming into London.

From documents recently laid before the Secretary of State by a deputation from the vestry of St. George, Ha nover-square, it appears that of the very large sums of money borrowed by the Middlesex Magistrates on mortgage of the county-rates, for the purposes of purchasing the sites and building the County Lunatic Asylum at Hanwell, and the Westminster New Prison, there remained unpaid no less than 239,2971. The money originally borrowed was near 400,0001., and was raised under powers conferred by two Acts of Parliament ; the sum for building the Lunatic Asy lum being repayable by equal annual instalments within fourteen years, while the repayment of the money lent for building the New Westminster Prison is spread over a pe riod of forty years. The peculiar restrictions under which the county thus entered the Money Market is still felt in the very different rates of interest at which distinct portions of the debt were contracted for from time to time, as the progress of the buildings rendered it necessary to raise fur ther funds. For more than half the debt, notwithstanding the abundance of money that has long continued, the utmost rate of interest that the law allows was agreed to be paid. Of the outstanding debt the amounts owing, and the rates of interest, are as under : At 41. per cent. remained unpaid £ 85,285 At 41. 7s. ditto l,BOO At 41. los. ditto At 41. 17s. 6d. ditto 9,125 At 5/. ditto Total £239,297 The sums on which the larger rates are paying are those borrowed, repayable in forty years. The Messrs. Craw shaw, the proprietors of the great iron works in Wales, are the holders of nearly all these bonds. It has been suggested that if the county magistrates were to transact their finance business immediately through the Bank of England that establishment might be willing to buy up all the bonds, and accept a consolidated rate of interest more at par with the existing value - of money in the market. Besides the above debts, the county rate is at this pre sent time charged with an annual payment of 2,8501., for principal money borrowed by way of tontine towards the expense of enlarging the Coldbath-fields House of Correc tion between forty and fifty years ago. The history of this tontine affords a striking proof of the impolicy of this mode of raising a sum of money. The whole amount raised was 62,000/., and the borrowings took place at three different periods, each loan being divided among three classes of pur chasers ; first class, those under twenty years of age : se cond, those above twenty and under forty years of age ; and third class, those above forty. The principle of a tontine is that the whole stipulated amount of interest shall con tinue to be paid, and be divisible among the class so long as a single member of it exists. On the extinction of the class all payment as far as such class is concerned ceases. The first loan was made in 1790, the second in 1792, and the third and last in 1795. Each of these loans was contracted for among the three different classes before enumerated, and it is a singular fact that no one of the nine classes created by these borrowings has yet died off, and the county has to pay to this day the same amount of interest as at first. For 62,000/. money borrowed, the payments already amount to 136,250/. The following table, extracted from the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, in a most striking manner exhi bits the vast increase that has been progressively making in the burthen of the county rate during the last century. Taking the average of ten years, the annual rate paid by St. George, in 1748, was 421. 10s. 6d. ; in 1758, 221. 15s. 7d. ; in 1768 ; 291. 12s. 3d. ; in 1778, 111/. 14s. ; in 1788, 2011. 4s. Bd. ; in 1796, 365/. Bs. ; in 1806, 2,6031. 15s. ; in 1816, 3,163/. ; in 1826, 3,924/. Bs. ; in 1836, 7,216/. 13s. The whole amount paid by the parish for 58 years from 1739 to 1796, inclusive, was 7,0001. 35., being 2141. 19s. less than the payment for the last year alone. RATTLIN TIIE REEFER; EDITED BY CAPTAIN MAI - my/Yr, R. N.—" Rattlin the Reefer " commences his auto biography from the earliest moment of his existence. The main feature of the tale is the myster y in which his birth is in v point which is managed with considerable skill. The readerol v e (1 is frequently frequently thrown off his scent in attempting to follow out the traces of Rattlin's parentage ; and we have read few more powerful passages than those which contain the denoue ment of his troubled history. Not less striking, however, arc the humourous and ludicrous scenes which enliven the work ; the author's drollery is broad, unctuous, and characteristic. His sketches of sailor life are powerfully drawn, and with none of the over-colouring or caricature by which such personages are rondered monstrous and nauseating.—Edinburgh Evening Post.

ANCIENT AND MODERN MINING. ( From the Literary Gazette.) Much curious information was afforded at a meeting of the shareholders of the West Cork Mining Com pany, held on the 3d instant at .Salvador House, in the city, as to the manner in which the Danes obtained their copper at the time they frequented the British is lands. This was done by sinking shafts, or pits, of a few feet in depth, and applying the action of fire to the lode of ore in order to its fusion in the earth. In the workings of the company at Horse Island in the county of Cork, several of these shafts have been explored ; and from the richness of the ore, and the extent of the lode, which is about 15 feet wide, it is evident that the knowledge of the Danes in mining operations was 'upon the most limited scale. The lode discovered in the largest excavation is composed of a slaty substance, intermixed with fluor spar, and abounds with an infinite - number of small veins of the richest ore, so that it is is scarcely possible to strike a pick into any part of the lode without finding the precious petal. It runs nearly due east and west ; which, with other conco mitant circumstances, is a pretty sure criterion of its continuance. The specimens raised from the shafts of which we have spoken, and were produced at the incetinp„ were chiefly crystallised copper, and it was stated that a qnantity was about to be shipped for q,vansea, when its richness in bulk would be satisfac ,„rily asuertaint...l. So,aeritery:4r.krious hammers and other instruments have been found, and also 'several brass pans. There are various traditions in the country as to these shafts, and which, together with the circumstances here mentioned, would lead to the conclusion that they are even of an earlier date than the Danish period assigned to them. It is a historical fact, that the Carthagenians worked the tin mines in Cornwall. The Notium of Ptolemy, or Mizen Head,* is but a few leagues distance from Horse Island ; and as the whole district, of which that island-forms part, is one bed of mineral riches, it is not likely to have been overlooked by . that enter prising people. Another copper mine is 'now in work by the Company, distant three miles from Horse Island, where the ore which is raised is also of an exceeding richness; and which, upon assay, has beery found to contain 35 per cent. of pure copper. The place where this mine is situated is called Ballydehob, or, in Irish, the Town of Gold. It is scarcely necessary to add, that the meeting separated highly satisfied with the state of the Company's affairs, and an unanimous vote to that effect was passed. We, in common with all who desire the improvement of Ireland in particular, as a main feature of national welfare, wish well to the prosperity of an undertaking which must needs, in its operations, largely benefit the surrounding population, by furnishing employment and adequate remuneration. Such we have ever maintained would be the best re medy for the evils which afflict this superb island. Since writing the above, we have had laid on our table, and now before us, a sample of Mineral from what is called the Danish shaft, on Horse Island, as sayed by Messrs. Johnson and Sons at their Assay Office, and certified by them to have produced the ex traordinary result of sixty-nine per cent. of pure cop per, and about forty-four ounces of fine sil ver , i n th e ton of ore. The latter, even independently of the former, is so important, that, if the mass holds out in any proportion like it, we shall only say, several fo reign mines will require little further experiment on their products. * The Lizard Point, on the Cornish coast was the Ocri num of the same geographer; and all around the mines of Cornwall were wrought 'by the enterprising Phcenicians.— [Eu. L. G.] TRADE OF THE SOUND.-r-Ttre navigation of the Sound has been much more considerable this year than in those immediately preceding. If the number of the ships that have passed' it not so large as in 1832, the total value of the cargoes is by no means inferior. It is not an uncommon cir cumstance for two or three hundred ships to pass the Castle of Cronenburg in one day, which affords an extremely fine sight from the coast. The steam-boat stationed at the entrance of the Sound, to be employed in towing merchantmen, which had a new machine put into it last year, and is now in excellent condition, has not been much used this year ; but will be found of extraordinary use to ships on some occasions. In the year 1834, before the steam-boat received its present destination, a great number of large ships, which could not bear up against the strong current, were obliged to remain at anchor for six weeks to the north of the fortress of Cronenburg, while small vessels, which were able to pass round Cronenburg, went to the inner harbour of the Baltic, landed their cargoes, took in others, and passed the Sound again on their return. In 1739, not quite a century ago, two gentlemen going from Edinburgh to London state that they made the journey on horseback; that there was no turnpike road till they came to Grantham, within one hundred and ten miles of London ; that up to that point they travelled upon a narro w causeway, with an unmade soft road upon each side of it; that they met, from time to time, strings of packhorses, from thirty to forty in a gang, the mode by which goods seem to have been transported from one part of the country to another. The leading horse of the gang carried a bell, to give warning to travellers coming in the opposite direc tion; and he said that when they met these trains of horses with their packs across their backs, the causeway not affording room to pass, they were obliged to make way for them an d plunge into the side road, out of which they sometimes found it difficult to get back again upon the causeway. Now, the gross number of persons passing and repassing to Glasgow yearly amounts to one million five hundred and eighty-seven thousand one hundred and ninety-eight (1,557,198). IRISH REAPERS —EAST LOTHIAN.—A great number of these unfortunate individuals have this season, as usual, visited this district, and there being little corn as yet ready for the sickle, they might have been subjected to the greatest privations previous to the commencement of harvest, had not some benevolent individuals come forward to assist them. The Earl of Haddington, Sir Thomas B. Hepburn of Smeaton, Bart., and Mr. Ferguson, of Raith, M. P., for the county, have taken on themselves this truly charitable task. Sir Thomas bestows on each individual, daily, a piece of money, and the other two an equivalent in bread, and there be ing an hour of difference in the time of serving them at each place, an opportunity is afforded to each individual of sharing the donations at all of them. For years, indeed, the imme diate progenitors of the above-mentioned noblemen and gen tlemen have done this ; and they, in imitation of the philan thropic practice of their fathers, still continue to extend their charity to these houseless wanderers. Such benevolent con duct is indeed highly praiseworthy and deserving the imitation of the liberal wealthy of every district which may happen to visited by the labour:seeking sons of the Emerald Isle. Ca ledonian Mercury. LYNCHING A JUDGE.—During the July Term of Nicholas Circuit Court, at Carlisle, William Boyd was tried for the murder of Mr. Smith. The Jury found him guilty of manslaughter, and awarded as his punishment, confinement in the Penitentiary for three years and two months. Motion was made for a new trial, upon the grounds that the verdict was against law and evidence, and the discovery of new testimony. This Judge Brown granted on Saturday last, and admitted the prisoner to bail. The populace were so enraged at the Judge for this outrage of all law and justice, as they esteemed it, that they filled the fire engine, placed it at the Court-house door, and gave him a handsome ducking, as he passed out after the Court adjourned. They likewise hawg and burnt him next morning in effigy. When the Judge left Carlisle they hoisted the black flag and tolled the bell. We do not justify this at tack upon the person of Judge Brown; but if the statements which we have heard, in relation to the trial, &c. be true, and we have no right to doubt them, they most unquestionably fur nish some palliation for the treatment which the Jud ge re ceived at the hands of the people of Nicholas. We give the people of Nicholas great credit, however, for this modification of Judge Lynch's code. It evinces much humanity, and its tendency is as likely to produce the end designed as the more severe inflictions of " Lynch law." • We had nearly forgotten to remark that the commonwealth's attorney, who was walking arm-in-arm with the Judge, was also sprinkled with nauseat ing water, but he consoled himself by facetiously remarking that his misfortune resulted alone from keeping bad company. —American Paper, July 15. RED CURRANTS. -- Notwithstanding that the En glish currant bushes have now generally been some time strip ped of their produce, the supply of this cooling and whole some fruit continues to be both abundant and in fine condition at Covent-garden market, and at the shops of the fruiterers. Vast quantities of this fruit arc sent over from the Nether lands and from Elolland ; they come packed in neat round baskets, containing about twenty or thirty pounds each, and are sold by weight by the importers. From the care taken in packing they mostly arrive in good condition, and in size, fla vour, and richness of clusters, fully equal our own produce. The price at the same time is moderate, not exceeding that at which the fruit was selling at the height of the season. A considerable quantity of common red plums are imported from the same parts, and likewise from Bordeaux, from which latter place are also received large quantities of choice wall fruit. tie late Mr. Sheridan was often reduced to utiplaasant icaments. Possibly he had little appetite for breakfast elf, but the servants complained bitterly on this head, said that Mrs. Sheridan was sometimes kept waiting couple of hours while they had to hunt through the ibourhood, and beat up for coffee, eggs, Lnd French rolls. The same perplexity in this instance appears to have extended to the providing for the dinner ; fur so sharp set were they, that, to cu t sort a debate with a butcher's ap prentice about leaving a leg of mutton without the money, the cook clapped it into the pot ; the butcher's boy, pro bably used to such encounters, with equal coolness took it out again, and marched off with it in his tray in triumph. It required a man to be the author of " The School for Sean dal" to run the gauntlet of such disagreeable occurrences every hour of the day. Taylor, of the Opera•house, used to say of Sheridan, that he could not pull off his hat to him in the street without its costing him fifty pounds ; and if he stopped to speak to him, it was a hundred. No one could be a stronger instance than he was cf what is called living from hand to 7ilouth. He was always in want of money, though he received vast sums which he must have disbursed ; and yet nobody can tell what became of them, for he paid no body. He spent his wife's fortune (sixteen hundred pounds) in a six weeks' jaunt to Bath, and returned to town as poor as a rat. Whenever he and his son were invited out into the country, they always went in two postchaises and four—he in one, and his son Tom following in another. Sheridan once wanted to take Mrs. Sheridan a very hand some dress down into the country, and went to Barber and Nunn's to order it, saying he must have it by such • a day, but promising they should have ready money. Mrs. Barber (I think it was) made answer that the time was short, but that ready money was a very charming thing, and that he should have it. Accordingly, at the time appointed she brought the dress, which came to. and it was sent in to Mr. Sheriden, who sent out a Mr. Grimm (one of his jackals) to say he admired it exceedingly, and that he was sure Mrs.. Sheridan would be delighted with it, but he was sorry to have nothing under a hundred pound bank-note in the house. She said she had come pro vided for such an accident, and could give change for a hundred, two hundred, or five• hundred pound note if it were necessary. Grimm then went back to his principal for farther instructions, who made an r.:xc.use that he had no stamped receipt by him. For this Mis: B. said she was also 'provided ; she had brought one in her pocket. At each message she could hear them laughing heartily in the next room, at the idea of having met with their match for once ; and presently after Sheridan came out in high good humour;and paid her the amount of her bill, in ten, five, or one pound notes. Once when a creditor brought him a bill for payment, which had often been presented before, and the man complained of its soiled and. tattered state, and said he was quite ashamed to see. it, ".I'll tell you what I'd advise you to do with it, my friend," said Sheridan, " take it home, and write it upon parchment !" He once mounted a horse which a horse-dealer was showing off near a coffee-house at the bottom of St. James's-street, rode it to Tattersall's, and sold it, and walked quietly back to the - spot from which he set out. The owner was fu rious, swore he would be the death of him ; and in a quarter of an hour afterwards they were seen sitting together. over a bottle of wine in the coffee-house, the horse jockey with the tears running down his face at - Sheridan's jokes, and almost ready to hug him as an honest fellow. Sheridan's house and lobby were beset with duns every morning, who were told that Mr. Sheridan was not yet up, and shown into several rooms on each side of the entrance. As soon as he had breakfasted he asked, "Are those doors all shut, John ?" and, being assured they were, marched out very deliberately between them, to the astonishment of his self invited guests, who soon found the bird was flown. I have heard one of his old city friends declare, that such was the effect of his frank, cordial manner, and insinuating elo quence, that he was always afraid to go to ask him for a debt of long standing, lest he should borrow twice as much. A play had been put off one night, or a favourite actor did not -appear, and the audience demanded to have their money back again ; but when they came to the door they were told by the check-takers that there was none for them, for that Mr. Sheridan had been in the meantime, and had carried off all the money in the till. He used often to get the old cobler who kept a stall under the ruins of Drury-lane to broil a beefsteak for him, and take their dinner together. On the night that Drury-lane was burnt down Sheridan was in the House of Commons, making a speech, though he could hardly stand without leaning his hands on the table, and it was with some difficulty he was forced away, urging the plea, " What signified the concerns of a priVate compared to the good of the state ?" - When he got to Co vent-garden he went into the Piazza Coffee-house, to steady himself with another bottle, and then strolled out to the end of the Piazza to look at the progress of the fire. Here be was accosted by Charles Kenible and Fawcett, who 'complimented him on the calmness with which he seemed to regard so great a loss. He declined this praise, and said— " Gentlemen, there are but three things in human life that in my opinion ought to disturb a wise man's patience. The first of these is bodily pain, and that (whatever the ancient stoics may have said to the contrary) is too much for any man to bear without flinching : this I have felt severely,. and I know it to be the case. The second is the loss of a friend whom you have dearly loved ; that, gentlemen, is a great evil : this I have also felt, and I know it to be too much for any man's fortitude. And the third is the con sciousness of having done an unjust action. That, gentle men, is a great evil, a very great evil, too much for any man to endure the reflection of; but that"(laying his hand upon his heart), " but that, thank God, I have never felt !" I have been told that these were nearly the very words, except that he appealed to the Melts sconscia rccli very emphatically three or four times over, by an excellent authority, Mr. Mathews the player, who was on the spot at the time. She ridan's reply to the watchman who had picked him up in the street, and who wanted to know who he was, " I am Mr. Wilberforce !"—is well known, and shows that, how ever frequently he might be at a loss for money, he never wanted wit !

The new novel " Bilberry Thurland" opens a vein which, since the time of Fielding and Smollett, has not been explored. Like those great writers, the author of this work presents us with strong, manly delineations of true English humour, and proves that, in the provinces especially, the dis tinctive marks of our national character are still as racy and broad, and diverting, as ever they were. His country magis trates, poachers, gypsies, rustics, and beggars, arc exhibited to the life, with that keen perception of truth, and power of presenting it dramatically, which nothing but genius can supply. - - - The wreck of a newly-built house, close to the river on the Bathpoll-road, presents a curious appearance. It was built a few weeks ago by Mr. J. Ford, of bathpool, in defiance of due warning by the trustacs of the Taunton turnpike—that it was an obvious encroachment, and consistently with their date to the public not to be tolerated. Mr. Ford, however, persisted, until having tiled, floored, end very nearly finished the building, the trustees deemed it imperative on them to in terfere. Accordingly a body of masons, carpenters, and la bourers, were put in requisition ; the extent of the encroach ment was accurately ascertained, end in a very short time the operators had hewn and sawn straight through the building from the roof to the basement, presenting in the vestige as it now stands, an instructive lesson on the mischievous oerversity' of resisting functionaries entrusted with authority lie good.—Bath Herald.
